A $50 administration fee applies to port out a NodePhone VoIP number, unless your new provider request us to use a Business Number Port-Out (in which case the Business Number Port fees apply).

Monthly Rental Charges

NodePhone VoIP delivers a reliable and cost-effective voice-over-IP telephone service, and can make and receive calls to & from other NodePhone VoIP services; and to & from the Public Switched Telephone Network. Also included at no extra charge is incoming Caller ID, along with a sophisticated voicemail service featuring voicemail as email.

A range of monthly plans are available, and all include a monthly call credit - ranging from $10 monthly credit on the $5 per month Starter plan; to $40 monthly credit on the $20 per month plan.

This credit is applied to all types of NodePhone VoIP call charges - including local, standard national, Australian mobiles, and international.

On your monthly billing date, our billing system checks the calls on your call billing record in the last month. It then applies a call credit amount according to the plan that you are on.

Please note that this only applies to calls that we have processed for billing purposes at that time. You may have made calls during that period that have not yet been processed, and these will be applied to a subsequent invoice.

Call charges will first be deducted from any included monthly call credit. Any additional calls will be charged in arrears on your monthly invoice. Unused call credit does not roll-over to subsequent months.

NodePhone VoIP Plan Changes

There are no once-off charges to change from one NodePhone VoIP plan to another NodePhone VoIP plan.

Note that any changes requested will take effect at the start of your next billing period - please use the online plan changer to request a plan change.

Call Charges

All calls are charged based entirely on the destination of the call, not the source of the call. Call charges may change over time - full details are available on the Call Rates page.

Other Limitations

We have highlighted below some of the important limitations of the NodePhone service:

Priority Assistance is not availableWe do not offer priority assistance, nor support for medi-alert services and monitored alarm systems. Priority assistance is offered by Telstra for people who may be reliant on a telephone service because of a serious medical condition. If you have a medi-alert or priority assistance service or believe that you are eligible, please consider this before proceeding with your order.

No Access to 19/1900 Premium NumbersBe aware that 19/1900 premium rate numbers cannot be called from a NodePhone VoIP service.

Internode does not currently provide support for teletypewriter equipment.

Billing & Notifications

Invoices, Internode Bulletins, and usage warnings are sent to your Internode email address or nominated billing address. When your service is activated, you'll receive a configuration sheet with the details of your Internode email address.

As per the Internode Customer Relationship Agreement, payment is required in advance. You will be required to pay the setup fee and any equipment costs (if applicable) and the first monthly fee upon provisioning of your service. Billing will commence upon activation of the service.

NodePhone has a monthly billing arrangement, and any requested changes to your account (for example, plan change) is actioned by our system at the start of the next billing period. Existing Internode broadband customers simply have the NodePhone charges added to their existing billing arrangement.

Posting of paper invoices is available, but discouraged for environmental reasons. If requested, this will attract a $1.50 surcharge per invoice. Surcharges also apply to credit card payments. Full details on surcharges and payment options are available on our Accounts and Billing pages.
